Ask Dr. Dobson: Cat Vaccinations

Hello!

I was just wondering what your prices are for cat vaccinations, we just got a kitten and are wanting to keep her healthy, but we are college students without much money.  Please let me know!

Thank you.

Hello

Congratulations on your new kitten!! New pets are new expenses and we are here to help.  An exam will be required for your kitten and depending on how old your kitten is, will depend on what vaccines need to be given.  The initial exam is $40.00.  Vaccines are priced as follows, scheduled accordingly.

6-8 weeks  FVRCP   $22.00

9-12 weeks FVRCP  $22.00
FELV     $22.00

12-15 weeks FVRCP $22.00
FELV:  $22.00
Rabies:  $16.50

To try to keep costs down for pet owners, we offer vaccine clinics on Wed. and Sat. that you can come to for booster vaccines after the first exam.  Please let us know if we can help you with any other information.

Thank you, and hope to see you soon at Riverwoods Pet Hospital.

Ask Dr. Dobson: New Kitten

I just got a new kitten from a friend who’s cat had kittens. I was wondering how important it was that my kitten had vaccinations. Does that protect me or my cat? How much would vaccinations be?

Thanks,
Ashley

Hello Ashley

Congratulations on your new kitten! In answer to your question, it is very important that your kitten is vaccinated. Viruses that your kitten could carry that we vaccinate are species specific. However, if your kitten is going to be exposed to the outdoors or any other animals it is crucial to protect your pet.

Your kitten should be vaccinated starting at 6-8 weeks of age. Kittens are not protected until they have had three sets as part of their kitten series. We start with the feline distemper also known as FVRCP.

Please call for pricing and schedule an appointment at your convenience. (801) 224-2233
